Our Story

An Evolution in Building Certification

In 2010, John and Charmaine Dunn started John Dunn Building Approvals, providing building certification services to the Sunshine Coast. The business continued to grow and in 2016, John and Charmaine re-branded the business to JDBA Certifiers.

After working for JDBA Certifiers for 2 years, Richard Jones (see bio below) acquired the business in 2024. We have chosen the name “Evolve” to embody our culture of continual improvement and business evolution.

Meet the Director

The Director of Evolve Building Approvals is Richard Jones. Richard is a Level 2 Building Certifier with more than 20 years industry experience, both in Local Government and as a Private Certifier.

Richard’s background has provided him with in depth technical understanding of the National Construction Code, Council Planning Schemes, and other relevant legislation.  He and his team believe in providing exceptional service and in going that “extra mile” to ensure that the needs of clients are catered for.
